Resurrection orbs and Misunderstandings Raigel’s Morning: “………. I had better keep my eye on that one…… I can’t let her know my plans, and I feel as if she will somehow interfere with them” Raigel pondered as Cadence and Shining started walking towards Shining’s parents’ house “Wait……. I know her………” Raigel paused “ahhh…. She is the one who awoke me from my slumber……. No matter she will serve her use soon……. But for now I think I’d better start collecting my relics” Raigel moved his hand towards a scorch mark on his chest from where the spell had hit him “another spell like the one in the alley and I might have to pull back for repairs, and for once time isn’t on my side” he said before tapping the bottom his staff on the ground and disappeared from the roof top that he stood on. When he reappeared on another roof top he was facing a white stone building with a few pot plants hanging from one of the buildings and a welcome matt at the front door but much like any other building in the city but this one was different from the others this particular building had a strong energy field around which to Raigel was quite alluring, he tapped his staff again and disappeared and then reappeared on the target building but began to stagger as he reappeared. “That was definitely strange……… maybe it’s gained too much excess energy that it can’t expel…….” He pondered again “well that’s certainly going to change, but I can’t teleport in with this level of interference but I must gain access to the structure Hmmm………….” He thought but a wooden door caught his attention and if he was able to he would be grinning from ear to ear (if had those as well). Raigel walked over towards the door and then realised that the doors was a good metre and a half smaller than he was but that wasn’t before he got wedged in the door and ended up ripping the door off its hinges, but he managed to get in albeit awkwardly squeezing his way down the small hall way and nearly breaking another door off its frame. As he made his way through the door he entered another hallway and to his luck was roomier than the previous, though he still needed to side step his way through since the hall wasn’t wide enough for his shoulders to clear it but he was able to stand slightly and move around quicker he managed to find a stair wall leading down stairs. As he made his wall slowly down the stairs he had to make sure he didn’t fall down them as he made his way down he noticed picture frames on the wall of various ponies for instance a frame of a dark blue stallion with a darker blue mane in some sort of formal garment and a white coat mane with violet and white streaks in her man and tail, but for some reason the mare reminded Raigel of someone but he couldn’t quite place his finger on it, but thoughts aside he progressed down the stairways and noticed another picture of the same mare and stallion and a smaller white colt with a blue mane and tail but the mare was in a bed of some kind holding a smaller lavender……. Foal was it? With a dark purple mane and tail with a pink highlight in her mane, then it clicked. “This must be the mares birth parents home…….. this may complicate things” he stopped and pondered “no matter there’s no way around it” he progressed once more and spotted and photo that looked recent as the two children are now fully grown but the two ponies and their parents were standing in front of a large greenish black sphere. ‘Wait was tha-’ he said before his feet caught on a missing section of the stairway and he came in contact with foe older than time itself, gravity. He came tumbling down the stairway in a less discrete fashion but if he was going down he was taking something with him and on instinct he grabbed hold on a small table lining the wall and he and his new companion made a bee line to the bottom, if he was able to feel pain he would be unconscious, he eventually made contact with the bottom with an audible crash “urgh….. that was less than an elegant landing” as he picked himself up and dusted himself down he knew if the mortals taking resident would definitely be awake now . “Did you trip on stairwell again dear?” a female voice cooed, if there was a word that would describe the situation he was in he would be using it right. “I think the Mon-keigh have a word for this situation ‘Shit’” he said pushing himself against a wall the mare was on the other side the sound of sizzling sound and stirring “must be some ritual of some kind” he said moving towards the corner that separated him from her. He was about to turn the corner when he realised he didn’t have his staff, he then realised he left it up on the roof “how did I not realised that I dint have my staff” he said face palming himself. “What was that?” the mare called, she sounded worried and the clopping of hooves echoed through the house. ‘I'm sorry but this has to be your fate but know this your death will serve a greater purpose’ he thought to himself while readying his clawed hands, as he saw her hoof pass the corner he was about to lunge but luckily she was saved by the bell literally. “COMING~” she called, she turned and trotted towards the door luckily Raigel is nowhere in sight of the door ‘that was to close, I don’t want to escalate things any further than they already have been’ he thought to himself as he began to move upstairs again to keep himself concealed if she decided to make her way back to check out the place “Oh!... good morning Shining, good morning Cadence” she greeted her guests ‘This isn’t my day’ Back to twilight and co: Twilight and her friends quickly made their way through streets as the city began to wake up. Fluttershy insisted to come along despite her state, she basically countered her friends arguments with she knew this Raigel better than anypony else which despite what twilight thought she couldn’t turn away any help no matter who it was and also they needed Fluttershy to use the elements of harmony. “I still don’t see why I can’t go ahead? In can show that tin can whose boss!” Rainbow dash huffed. “Because none of us stand a chance against him alone, we all need to be together if we can use the elements to trap him then we can deal with him from there” Twilight explained. ‘I just hope that they are all safe’ she thought, a small tear creped down her face. Back to Raigel: The three ponies were talking about last night’s events, (minus the Necron lord massacring changeling spies) but the explanation of the two ponies wedding the night before, even if it was brief and not very detailed. Raigel did learn a bit about the ponies even though he would rather butcher them take what he came for and leave, but he would then have to deal with their “Princesses” and they do control the heavenly bodies somehow and despite that fact he would rather see every living creature here dead he isn’t to found of living in a frozen wasteland in pitch black darkness. “But what happened last night? There were guards everywhere, and there was this dreadful scream. I……. just can’t make sense of it all….. Do you two know anything about it? And shining don’t lie to me, it would have to be something important if you had to be called away from your honeymoon” Star Sparkle asked giving cadence a look that would make any child confess. “Well……. You see- you know the hole that Twily and cadence came from when they confronted chrysalis? Well that cave is-” shining stuttered trying to force the words out. “What he means to say, some creature from the caves escaped and murdered five ponies who until later appeared to be changeling spies.” Cadence bluntly stated. “Changelings? I thought you and Shining sent them packing at the wedding the other day?” star asked. “that’s what we thought, but apparently they are still here and possibly keeping an eye on us” Cadence replied hanging her head worriedly. “luckily we don’t have to worry about them anymore” she finished. “Because of this creature you met?...... if it is truly evil then why did it spare you and the princesses as well?” Star asked, Shining and Cadence looked at each other for a moment, ‘it was true it had no remorse or mercy towards the changelings but he basically just looked at us and laughed (figuratively speaking) besides the entire Fluttershy possession thing he showed no signs of retaliation even when we attacked him……. It can’t be from the goodness of his heart (if he even had one of course) he must have a secret agenda otherwise why would he bother?’ Shining thought. ‘Because you’re not worth my time’ a voice echoed through Shining’s head like somepony dragged a fork across a chalk board. ‘Wha-what are you doing in my head?’ shining asked. ‘because I grow tired of you and your spouse’s rambling I would prefer to move around without dealing with you……. So be a good little pony and take you “Wife” with you’ Raigel said trying to sound patronizing, Shining’s eyes shot wide open ‘you’re in my parent’s house aren’t you?’ shining asked trying to remain calm less Cadence caught on, a low clap echoed through his head obviously signalling he stated the obvious. ‘congratulations on figuring that out your parents must be proud to have such a ‘simple minded child’ Raigel bluntly stated causing Shining to furl his brow. ‘but seriously I would much appreciate it if you take your wife and leave’ Raigel simply asked. ‘NO! I can’t leave knowing you’re here with my mother, I know you said you wouldn’t harm anypony yet but I know what you are……… you are a deceitful monster who couldn’t care about if someone lived or died’ Shining angrily stated, causing Raigel to laugh but his laugh sent shivers down Shining’s spine, the laugh was hollow and emotionless. ‘of course that’s exactly what I am, I'm the monster your mothers and fathers tell you about to make you behave, I'm the monster that has spread fear all over the galaxy and soon……. OUR TIME WILL COME AGAIN TO RISE FROM THE CRYPTS AND TURN THE GALAXY INTO A FIESTING GROUND FOR OUR MASTERS!’ his voice echoed through his head and a strong surge of pain ran through his head like someone bucked his head into oblivion. ‘NO! I won’t allow your kind will destroy everything in sight and that’s why you’ll never understand what lengths we would take to stop you, even if it takes us an eternity we will do everything to stop you!’ Shining rebutted biting his lip. Raigel was silent for a moment ‘……… you remind me…… of myself when I was young, full of courage and so, so blind to the inevitable truth of what is going to happen. But in the end it will just cost you everything……… I lost something precious to me long ago because of my pride’ Raigel said. ‘Hmph……. A monster like you wouldn’t understand what it’s like to lose anything’ Shining Bluntly stated which something he will soon regret. ‘What was that?........ I don’t know what it’s like to lose something?’ Raigel said his voice building hiding some long forgotten hurt. Which caused Shining to gulp? “I LOST EVERYTHING TO BECOME THE MONSTER YOU SEE HERE!” Raigel shouted busting through the wall causing star to jump half way across the room in fright. Twilight’s morning: Twilight’s heart nearly skipped a beat when she heard a scream coming from the house she was raised in, she proceeded in a fast gallop quickly overtaking Rainbow Dash. “HURRY GIRLS! OR WE MIGHT BE TOO LATE!” Twilight shouted behind her soon she was joined by her friends as the distance between them and the house grew shorter. ‘I'm coming please, please be safe just for a few more seconds’ Twilight pleaded to herself Raigel’s morning: Raigel was furious with this arrogant colt he just wanted to crush him beneath his heavy feet, but found himself unable to act since he was deeply confused ‘anger?!...... I haven’t felt anger in millennia how can I be angry it’s impossible…… this can’t be happening?!’ Raigel thought, he looked at his metal hands and let out a horrific scream of confusion and anger and buried his head in his hands. Cadence was being hit hard by this sudden rush of powerful emotion, in fact the emotions were driving her to a point of passing out. ‘he’s so angry and confused it’s hard to point out which is stronger…’ she thought, then it suddenly hit her ‘he’s confused because he doesn’t know where this anger came from’ she realised. Raigel soon calmed down and slowly turned towards the three ponies that opposed him and realised his mind was being violated, he quickly stomped his foot on the ground causing the building to shake dangerously. “I'm here for my orb, give it to me or suffer my wrath!” he firmly said balling his hand into a fist. Star realised what he was talking about quickly and glanced over towards a small pillar which had a small crimson pillow with golden embroidery covering it, but on the pillow was the more valued piece a large blackish, green orb which seemed to grow a stronger electrifying green colour at the sudden appearance of its master. “No you can’t have it, it’s been in our family for nearly a thousand years!” star cried running over to the orb and grasping it in her hooves. “Is your life worth more than this orb? Would you so foolishly throw it away for some piece of glass (if she doesn’t give it to me soon I will make her death a painful one for making me say such disrespectful things about my most powerful relics)” Raigel tried to reason. “That orb is mine by right and your family have stolen it from my crypt….. you should be lucky I don’t exterminate your entire family for your crimes” Raigel said towering over her holding out his hand to receive the orb. “Please star!, just give him the orb what would happen if you died here what would happen to Crescent and Twilight if you were killed…... they’d probably go seeking revenge and end up dead alongside you and I don’t want to lose a mother, father and sister because of a silly orb!” Cadence pleaded, tears streaming down her face with each word. Star thought for a moment and saw everything she said was true her death would be a waste if she was killed and the mere mention of her husband and beloved daughter following the same fate was too much to bear, “please…… take it. If it’s going to cause needless bloodshed, then I don’t want it anywhere near me or my family” she said with teary eyes and levitated the orb into Raigel’s hand. As soon as it meets his hand, sparks of green energy started sparking off the orb. As the sparking died down, Raigel felt the powers of the orb surging through him, he fumbled with the orb because of the over whelming power it had stored. “a wise decision, it would have been a waste to dispose of you and your family if you kept resisting.” He turned to Cadence “and thank you for reasoning with her, your help here today has saved fragment of lives today……….. for now” he finished, reaching his hand out a small black portal with green mist flowing from it formed on the floor scarring the stone around it and from the portal his spear emerged from it and he grasped his spear and with the combined power of both his staff and the orb sent a wave of power through the house making all within the house wince in pain of the sheer amount of power. “Now I must take my leave the last event prior to my awakening have been sudden and I must rest……. but we shall meet again soon” he finished tapping the bottom of the staff on the ground and disappearing in a cloud of green and black mist. As he disappeared the door of the house flung open and six tired mares charged into the room “MOM! SHINING! CADENCE!” she shouted as she saw some of the most important people in her life scattered across the room she used to read and play in, on one side was Shining cowering in the fetal position with his hooves wrapped around his head, on the other was her mother lying in the remains of her families treasure pillar, she was lying there sobbing to herself, in the middle of the room was Cadence sitting on her haunches with her head hung low. Twilight started to quake in anger. “I will make him pay for this!” Twilight said to herself which caused the three ponies she came to save shoot up with angry glares in their eyes, “Twilight Sparkle! Don’t you even think of going after him we only managed to get away from him and to spare the rest of family!” Star sternly announced causing Twilight to snap back to her. “But he can’t be allowed to get away with this, and he stole our family treasure!” Twilight tried to reason. “What’s more important a piece of glass or our lives?” Shining rebutted. Twilight was silent for a minute knowing her feelings were foolish and would ultimately lead to her own demise if she pursued them. She felt a watering sensation welling up in her eyes as she realised her family was nearly torn away from her, and she rushed over to her mother tears in bloom as she embraced her mother. “Well this was a total sob feast” Rainbow muttered which earned her glares from the 4 mares remaining. Princess Luna’s morning: ‘I can’t believe they all rushed off without even informing me of where they were going’ Luna huffed as she soared across the open skies of Canterlot. ‘Maybe they picked up a lead from Fluttershy…… if so then they should’ve informed me it’s far too dangerous for them to be by themselves with that creature’ she thought then realising she had shortened her sentenced from should have to should’ve ‘yay those boring lessons are finally paying off’ she smiled as she drifted lazily through the sky clopping her hooves together. As she was drifting through the sky she noticed a green flash on one of the roof tops and then another on another roof then another then another, the flashes were progressing towards the castle, she then proceeded to a quick fly to catch up with the flashes. As she neared the castle walls she saw another flash on a rooftop she had calculated the flashes were slowing down each flash she then reached the roof of the last flash was on and hid behind one of the chimneys of the house. She poked her head around the chimney and was wide eyed with fear, standing a metre from her was the creature she had faced last night, she quickly withdrawed her head and felt her heart beating so fast she thought it was going to leap out of her chest. ‘okay just calm down he hasn’t noticed you yet, you could get the drop on him while he isn’t looking…… no, no that won’t work he didn’t even get fazed from our attack last night what makes you think we can defeat him…….. Dammit! All those lessons for nothing’ Luna angrily grumbled, and then realised she was supposed to be watching the creature that was standing but a mere metre from her…. And wasn’t even moving? ‘Why isn’t he moving all his jumps were calculated even though they were slowing down, but he should’ve teleported by now?’ she thought curiously, and then a sharp chill ran up her spine. ‘Because “He” is wondering why you are following me’ said a cold voice that echoed through her head. Luna was taken aback by this, there has never been anypony that’s was powerful enough to intrude the sanctity that was her mind besides Celestia. ‘You? why have you entered thy mind?...... DAMN IT ALL AGAIN!’ she said, Raigel was a little confused by her outburst but saw it nothing but being a strange mortal habit. ‘I should be asking why you have been following me, but I will amuse you for a short time’ Raigel said as he turned to face the princess (who was still behind the chimney). Luna sighed and took a deep breath and tried to step out from behind the chimney but found her legs weren’t responding to her orders. ‘Why can’t I move?’ she thought quickly growing more frustrated with each attempt. ‘Because your instincts are much wiser than your mind’ Raigel proclaimed. Which raised a “Huh?” from Luna, ‘to put it simply….. You’re frightened to step out of whatever cover you have and your body cannot move because of petrification’ he stated. Luna managed to forcibly move her legs forward and step out of the protection of the chimney. “Alright then if you’re going to answer my questions then I would first like to know who and what you are?” Luna bravely spoke but found that her voice broke but the end of her sentence. “You’re taking a large gamble confronting me young one, but since you sought me out with no regard for your own safety, I will humour you for a small moment.” Raigel said scanning the skies for Pegasus guards. “very well for the first half of your question…. I am Raigel The Forsaken Harbinger of the Void Dragon” he said. ‘Void Dragon? I wonder if it’s a sub species of a black dragon?’ Luna pondered. Raigel was confused by this he didn’t know what she meant by his C’tan master being a “sub-species” but progressed, “and as for your second half of the question I have already told what I am….. I am Death, a harbinger of souls, and a servant for the C’tan, our number is legion for we are many.” Raigel finished. Luna was less confused now but still “you haven’t told me what you species are yet? I know that there are others of your kind.” She paused for a moment to recall what he said the night before “you mentioned the Flayed One’s they must be a separate part of your kind?” Luna pressed on. “Those are questions for another time if we ever run into each other and it happens to be on neutral grounds…… but until that day it is farewell for now” Raigel said before turning away from her and before she was able to protest he tapped his staff and disappeared into green mist. “Great, he’s gone and all he told me was his name and his master….. and he has a superiority complex and doesn’t allow others to speak for themselves” Luna huffed and stomped her hoof. ‘he was heading towards the castle but if I know my sister them she will have the hole guarded and if Raigel is true to his word he will stay clear of it unless he wants to….. no he doesn’t seem like the type to go back on his word’ Luna thought struggling to make out the cryptic explanations that were given to her. “well this will be a good story to tell Tia and the elements at least” she chuckled to herself before flapping her bark blue wings and pushed off the roof and took flight towards the castle to catch some much needed rest. Raigel’s afternoon: As Raigel left Luna he was lucky to have appeared inside the castle walls but still thought about how the foolishness it was for the pony to have approached him…… but was it foolish? Or was it bravery. “I must be losing my touch” Raigel thought to himself as he walked towards the window outside the Canterlot chapel. As he peered into the window he noticed several armed guards ponies protecting the only entrance back into sanctuary. He stood there for a moment contemplating his next move, he could force his way to the hole, but the probability of the guards becoming injured or worse was far too high. ‘No I will just have to make do with the surface for now’ he told himself as he began scanning his environment noticing a large supply of flora and fauna in the area he was standing in, with a large population of living creatures roaming the area began to unsettle Raigel as he made his way through what is apparently a garden of some sort. Raigel felt eyes on his back as he made his way through the garden, he spun around with his staff tightly gripped in his hands but saw no one in the immediate vicinity except for a large statue of a creature just short of Raigel's height if it stood completely upright, but the creature that the statue was supposed to be eluded Raigel but it did remind him of a Harlequin with their mismatched patterns on their armour and suits, but the creature’s miss matched body parts almost reminded him of the flayed ones with the different skins that adorn their figure. Paying the statue no mind he continued down a cobblestone path until he reached a small pond which had a bridge covering its length which judging the distance the bridge was from the bank he wondered why they built a bridge if they could’ve more easily have continued the path around the ponds edge, he pondered this as he crossed the bridge stopping momentarily to peer over the sides to see 4 rainbow coloured fish swimming but then dispersing as his shadow crossed the ponds surface. One of the fish swam parallel from Raigel and he watched it as it did so and continued following until it was completely out of sight, all thanks due to the glare of the sun, looking up from the pool he noticed a Farley large bush of some sort scaling half way up the tower it was growing from, Raigel also noticed the area was cornered from the tower and branched off from the main wall of the castle. Raigel slowly walked over towards the plant and noticed there was a small entrance inside the bush. ‘I guess this is as good as any place to rest for now’ Raigel thought to himself as he made his way inside the bush whilst trying not to break the plant of the wall but managed to drag his spines across the marble coloured stone walls with an ear piercing screech. He managed to get in the middle of the bush and laid his staff up against the wall, but kept the resurrection orb clutched tightly in a death like grip. ‘…… that blue pony…… was she?.... no impossible there hasn’t been any trace here,….. I will need to take a better scan, when I return’ he concluded with himself. ‘Today was certainly interesting to be sure……. Cadence, I will have to remember that name’ he noted before resting his head back against the wall, “Tomorrow” he said as his body went silent and the dull throb of the eldritch energies subsided and all that was left was a grey metal statue. Grounds keeper Greenhooves’ and Dusty’s Afternoon: “welp, ah I think it’s high time to remove that old bush, don’t you think dusty?” an old stallion with a light tan coat and wispy grey mane and tail said to a young light brown Pegasus maid with a tri coloured mane of three different colours of brown. “I don’t know Mr Greenhooves, I mean that bush has been there since…… well I don’t know how long it’s been there for I noticed it when I first started working here” she stated. “I know, it’s like removing a part of the castles history, since it was here when I was but a wee lad walking through the gardens although looking at it now it hasn’t really grown much since I was a colt” he reminisced and then sighed “but it needs to go its roots are digging into the wall and tower foundation and is causing a lot of damage” he bluntly said grimacing at the thought of removing a plant from the gardens. As they reached the bush in question they both studied the bush on the best way to remove it. “Hrmm….. I think we should remove it from the roots since that’s the best way to remove any plant isn’t that right?” Dusty pondered before asking Mr Greenhooves for his opinion. “Ah’ don’t think so Dusty, this isn’t your average bush you see….. It’s more of a creeper vine but much bigger, I think the best way to remove it is to remove it like a carpet, rip it out quickly and pray it all comes out on the first try” Greenhooves stated as he went up to the bush “ok young’un I'm going to need you to fly up to the top of the bush to tear down from the top all the way to the bottom” he said, Dusty nodded and flapped her wings then flew up to the top of the bush and looked down at Mr Greenhooves. “Okay what now?” she called. “ON THE COUNT OF THREE WE PULL!…..ONE!” he Called and began to grip the bush with his mouth “......TFWO!......THREE!...” he called back to Dusty gripping the buses base harder and began pulling, Dusty also started pulling at the top of the bush, and much of the worn tower mortar and dirt came down with it. It had taken roughly half an hour to fully uproot the bush from the tower and now they were just about to tear the rest from the base of the bush. Greenhooves gave a relieved sigh as he wiped his brow of sweat “I haven’t done this much since I was a young lad, but we are nearly done here.” He said causing Dusty praise Celestia, which in turn elicited a chuckle from Greenhooves “The sooner we’re done the sooner I can go home and have a bath” Dusty cheerily exclaimed, Greenhooves made his way over to the main body of the bush which had been half torn out already, Greenhooves inspected what was left and moved to grip the main body of the bush with his hooves while Dusty took to the air and mimicked Greenhooves by grip it from the air. “Okay youngin’, ready?” Dusty nodded “Good, alright on the count of three, one……. Two……. THREE!” he shouted before pulling back as much as his old body would let him. Before long the bushes roots were starting to give up and give in to the inevitable, and about 5 minutes later the entire bush gave way and came flying out of the ground whipping up grass and dirt and long dead foliage with it, Greenhooves gave himself a pat on the back for job well done while Dusty thanked Celestia that it was over and started to trot over to Greenhooves to see if her job here was done here, but something glistening caught her eye, which of course distracted her from looking where she was going and ploughed into Greenhooves. “Careful there yougin’, I'm not as young as I used to be” Greenhooves smirked, Dusty jumped off blushing slightly. “I'm sorry Mr Greenhooves but I saw something coming over there” she said as she pointed a hoof towards where the bush used to be, this piqued Greenhooves curiosity and he made his way over to where dusty had pointed (whom promptly followed), whatever it was covered in leaves and vines thanks to the creeper, he moved closer and removed some of the vines and was surprised to see a large statue made of some kind of metal. “Well I’ll be who knew that there was a statue hiding in this old bush” Greenhooves whistled lightly taking in the details of the statue, while dusty just gave it an odd look. “it looks really old, but what’s it meant to be?” Dusty said curiously. “not a clue, but it’s a statue and needs to be treated with some respect” Greenhooves said sounding a bit miffed that someone left it here to fall to pieces (if only it could), he sat down on his haunches to think for bit while Dusty’s maid instincts took over and she began to clear the leaves and vines away, and then became irked at how much dirt was actually on it and began to clean off the millennia old dust and dirt and dried blood (but she doesn’t know that), soon she came to his shoulders and saw a small flower lodged in between his neck and shoulder (probably from last night’s pot plant incident) she plucked the flower out and examined it, the plant looked like a moon flower of some sort but had a strange colouration she had never seen it was pitch black while the inside was neon green and the further to the core of the plant it got the lighter the green became it also had neon green colouration on the underside of the petals and the stem had needle like thorns on it and was a sickly green colour despite the oddity’s the flowers was rather beautiful in a dark kind of way, dismissing the oddity’s she placed the flower in one of the gardens that housed moon flowers and went back to cleaning the statue. As she returned she noticed Greenhooves was still pondering. Greenhooves couldn’t think of a way to move the statue without busting a gut, either he had a small army to move it or he found a unicorn to help him, and with luck so happen a unicorn guard returning to the barracks from his night shift walked past and Greenhooves gave a toothy grin (if he had teeth that is) “HEY! BOY!” he shouted which got the guards attention. “COME GIVE AN OLDSTALLION A HOOF WILL YA!” he shouted, and with a sad sigh the guard trotted over to help him.
